Podcast appearances and mentions of Mary Smith

Creating multiple revenue streams, making $100 a day from affiliate revenue, and committing to consistent content creation with Mary Smith from Mary's Whole Life. ----- Welcome to episode 524 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Mary Smith from Mary's Whole Life. How Mary Smith Uses Her 500k Instagram Followers to Monetize Across Platforms This week is our third (and final!) episode in our mini-series with Grocers List. In this episode, we chat with a gluten-free food creator who's built an incredible business by staying consistent, continually learning, and always looking for new ways to serve her audience. Today, Mary gets over 600,000 monthly blog page views and brings in revenue through ads, affiliate links, and brand partnerships. She shares more about her Instagram strategy (with over 500k followers), including her tips for viral Reels, how she uses Grocers List to capture emails, make deep links, and customize meal plans, and how working with a management company has transformed her brand partnerships. Three episode takeaways: How to be intentional with your affiliate strategy and deep linking — By using deep linking on the Amazon affiliate links she shares, Mary has boosted her conversion rate from 5% to 21%, a massive jump that now brings in around $100/day in revenue. She recommends using tools strategically to lower costs, like applying deep links only on Instagram, and doubling down on what converts. How to use tools to bring social followers into your email ecosystem — Switching from ManyChat to Grocers List helped Mary streamline subscriber growth and increase engagement (the “save to email” feature led to 3,000 new subscribers in just a few months)! Mary also explains her process for creating and promoting an ebook opt-in on Instagram. How to make weekly meal plans for your email list — One of the ways Mary has added value for her email subscribers is by sending out a weekly Friday morning email with a meal plan for her subscribers with a curated grocery list. She explains how she formats and customizes these resources with very little effort in this episode!

If you need to level-up to join us 09:54 - Re- hash Chapter 3: A Love Affair of Long Ago - Miss Matty Jenkyns reminisces about her past romance with Mr. Holbrook, which was thwarted by her family's disapproval.  Miss J couldn't SUCK an orange (then by ch 3 she was gone from us) Martha, the new girl of all work trying to learn how to do her job and nudging Major Jenkyns when he didn't serve himself fast enough 11:00 Miss Matilda SATE bolt upright (not a typo) 11:16 Poetry today from George Herbert—selections from will be featured at the end of the episodes, Euan Bartlett is the reader 12:00 “Pudding before meat” and “no broth no ball; no ball, no beef” Suet Pudding: Spotted Dick pudding: Steak and Kidney pudding: Yorkshire Pudding 14:00 15:32 Old fashioned forks - like 16th Century/1500s - were two-tine forks. 16:44 “Aminé at her grains of rice after her previous feast with the Ghoul” - from “The Story of Sidi-Nouman” from One Thousand and One Nights (1765-8) Aminé is wife of Sidi Nouman who notices she only eats rice with a bodkin. He figures out she's a Ghoul who goes to cemeteries at night to feast on the newly-buried dead so rice was pretty ‘meh' for her.  17:48 “Unbecoming to put on over their caps” - threw me b/c of the Caleche's in Dracula - turns out they're related!

'— spectacular set of non-sequiters (p41) 53:30 I saw, I imitated, I survived - Mary Smith as Cæsar - using rounded knife tip as a spoon-ish food delivery device Don't forget! George Herbert's poetry often draws on the natural world, gardens, and quiet reflection: 1. “The Flower” Theme: Renewal, the seasons of the soul, joy in growth Perfect for July because: It celebrates the resurgence of beauty and hope—after cold or darkness, flowers bloom again. “Grief melts away Like snow in May, As if there were no such cold thing.” “Who would have thought my shriveled heart Could have recovered greenness? It was gone Quite underground; as flowers depart To see their mother-root, when they have blown.” “Thy garden is not bare; And I shall find once more The sweet communion with thy saints.” 2. “Easter” Yes, it's tied to the holiday, but it also celebrates light and blooming. “Rise heart; thy Lord is risen. Sing his praise Without delays, Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise With him mayst rise.” Pair this with literal rising things—morning sun, lilies, tall foxgloves. 3. “The Pulley” Theme: Why God withholds perfect rest—so we seek Him. This works well in summer, when life feels abundant, but still leaves a twinge of longing. “When God at first made man, Having a glass of blessings standing by…” (and yet withheld rest, to draw man's soul back to God) A beautiful idea for a reflective pause among too-perfect blooms. 4. “Love (III)” Theme: Divine love, human unworthiness, and acceptance It's more theological, but gentle and moving—great for a quiet bench moment in a shady corner. “Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back…” “You must sit down,” says Love, “and taste my meat.” So I did sit and eat.” It pairs beautifully with the hum of bees and the hospitality of a garden. If you want a very short quote for your garden journal or bench-musing: • “Thou hast given me this herb of grace to smell and taste.” — from “Grace” • “Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave…” — from “Virtue” • “He that in mirth and youthful jollity keeps measure, is more temperate than he that lets his sorrow flow out without check.” — from his prose The Country Parson *CraftLit's Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9  • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: heather@craftlit.com • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON:   https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright -  $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships*  —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit  —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

Last week we talked about when presenting, you need to transfer your energy to the audience.   However don't have your energy levels at the maximum volume all the time.  That just wears an audience out and wears you out too.  Instead, you need to have some variation.  Very strong and then sometimes very soft.  And I mean drop it right down.  Remember to have that in the voice range.  Sometimes say your point in an audible whisper.   I remember when I gave a presentation in Kobe.  It was at a university summer school for students who had graduated and were going back to their home countries. I was giving this uplifting talk about how they could use the experience they had in Japan back in their home country.  It was powerful, a very powerful presentation.  It was an urging my comrades to “man the barricades” type of speech. The speaker after me was a Korean professor. Maybe because of the way I presented, I don't know, but he spoke very quietly. He spoke in a very soft voice throughout the whole presentation.  It really forced you to lean in and listen to him, because you had to work a little bit harder to listen to him.  So he got peoples' attention by having a softer voice. At the time, I thought, “wow look at that”.  That was very effective and I realized, ah, just operating at one power level all the time is not going to work.  I need to have variety in my voice, so I should have times when I am very powerful and other times when I am very soft.  So just watch yourself that you are not getting into too much soft or too much strong mode.  Variety is the key. I said before gestures are very important.  Be careful about getting your hands tied up with things.  If you are saying one thing is important, hold up one finger.  If it is the second thing, hold up two fingers. This is important.  When you hold up your fingers like that, hold them up around head height.  Don't hold gestures around waist height.  It is too low and people struggle to see it.  Get your gestures up high in a band from chest height up to around head height.  That zone is the key height you want for showing gestures.  When you want to show a big point, open your hands right out.  Don't be afraid of big gestures.  Use gestures that are congruent.  Be careful about waving your fist at your audience though.  It looks aggressive. It looks unfriendly and combative.  Use the open hand rather than a closed fist. And don't hit your hands together, slap them together or slap them on your thigh.  That activity creating noise becomes distracting.  Just use the gestures by themselves.  As I said before, 15 seconds is probably at the maximum you want.  You can walk around on the stage, but be careful about walking around too much, especially pacing up and down.  That makes you look nervous and either lacking in confidence about your message or lacking control over what you are doing.  Try and hold the main center point of the stage and move because you have got a good reason to move. Using the names of people in your audience is a great thing to do.  If you get there early, meet some of your audience.  Have a conversation with someone.  It is a nice connector with the audience to refer to that person and say, “I was just chatting with Jim Jones over there before and he made a very interesting point about current consumer trends.  In fact, Mary Smith made an addition to that point, when she said “blah, blah, blah…”  Suddenly you have both people very much proud of being recognized and involved in your talk.  They have been recognized by the speaker and they like it.  The audience now feels that you have a stronger connection with those listening.  Refer to people by name.  It is very, very effective.  Don't leave it to chance, try and look for those opportunities to engage with your audience.   Let's concentrate on the basics.  What is the point of your presentation?  Who is your audience?  What is the point?  Be conversational and customize the delivery to your listeners.  Have exhibits or have demonstrations or whatever that are custom-made to match that audience or match the point that you are making.  Don't just bring out a set off the shelf points you recycle for every presentation.  You might have an existing basis for a presentation, but think about who are you talking to?  What is the key point and then take it and re-work it, re-package it up, customize it.  I have given 530 presentations in the last 20 years here in Japan.  I have never given the same presentation twice, ever.  Even with the slides, I will always have some small variation.  Certainly the way I present it will be different every time. This keeps it fresh for me, as a speaker.  And it also keeps it fresh for an audience.  If I feel stimulated and interested in what I am talking about, then the chances are that is how the audience will feel about it too.  They will feel stimulated and interested as well.  Be wary of receiving the presentation pack. You often see the CEO had some munchkins out the back preparing the presentation for him or her.  Often, it will be the first time that they have even seen the presentation.  Sadly, it is obvious that it is the first time they have seen the presentation.  They don't know what's coming next and they struggle through it.  This is really killing the brand.  It is killing the brand and the organization.  It is killing the presenter's personal brand.  You don't want that.  Get it, customize it, make it yours, then present it.   So there we have some ideas on how to present your visuals when you are giving your presentations which are based on our training called High Impact Presentations, where we teach people over two days how to become a high impact presenter and how to learn a number of different structures.  It's really the Rolls-Royce of the presentation skills.  This is where Dale Carnegie started in 1912,teaching people how to be persuasive.  If ever you have a chance, after listening to this, to do that particular course if you haven't done it before, grab that opportunity because it is a powerhouse course.  It's a game changer of a training course.   I have taken it myself and I strongly recommend it. So best of luck and remember, rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.  Do not be consumed by the construction of the materials.  They are secondary to you.  But when you do construct your materials use these ideas, these hints and you will give a much, much better presentation.   

Pa'Ris'Ha and her international panel of Co-hosts continue the discussion of their new book, "Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation, and Immortality", by Amit Goswami, PhD. Are the complexities of the quantum physics model compatible with spiritual beliefs and religious traditions? The Co-hosts enjoy exploring how Dr. Goswami brings the two together to show how they actually support each other. Join Pa'Ris'Ha and Co-hosts Marianne Love, Melbourne AUS; Tryna Cooper, Denver Co, Mary Smith, Kingman Az, and Geraldene Dalby-Ball, Sydney AUS, next week, as they continue a lively review of Physics Of The Soul" by Amit Goswami. https://loaradionetwork.com/quantum-leap

“Today, our nation and world are at an inflection point,” Mary Smith, President of the American Bar Association, said. “At home and around the globe, autocrats and dictators threaten the rule of law. Our democracy is under strain." At the start of her presidential term in August 2023, ABA President Smith created the Task Force for American Democracy. The deans from more than 100 of America's top law schools wrote a letter in support, concerning the training necessary for the next generation of lawyers to sustain our constitutional democracy and the rule of law. “The nation's law schools play a critical role in training the next generation of lawyers and upholding the core values of our profession,” remarked Heather K. Gerken, Yale Law School dean and member of the task force. “Through our joint efforts as outlined in [the] letter, we hope to set an example for our students as we prepare them to carry our democracy forward.”What forces are at play that threaten democracy in America, and throughout the world? Are they taking hold? Here?Tonight, YLR Host, Jeff Hayden, is joined by Task Force member Maria Echaveste, a former U.S. presidential advisor to President Bill Clinton and White House Deputy Chief of Staff during the second Clinton Administration, and Brent Turner, a graduate of Lincoln Law School in San Francisco who was instrumental in the creation of the San Francisco County Voting Systems Task Force and who has been a Director of Communications for Open Voting…

For their most important public gathering in the presidential election, Democrats have chosen to meet on the traditional lands of the Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe, Odawa, and a handful of other nations. The state has no established federally recognized tribes, but the number of Chicago citizens who identify as Native American has more than doubled in the past ten years. We'll be in Chicago, talking with Native Chicago residents who are also clued in to the Democratic political process about what the party is doing to reach Native voters and what sets them apart from their political rivals. GUESTS Pamela Silas (enrolled member of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin and Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin descendant), active member of the Chicago American Indian Community Mary Smith (citizen of the Cherokee Nation), former IHS director and founder of the Caroline and Ora Smith Foundation Monica Rickert-Bolter (Prairie Band Potawatomi), visual artist and director of operations at the Center for Native Futures Shaun Griswold (Laguna, Zuni, and Jemez), editor of Source New Mexico

Last week, Josh detailed the disappearance and likely murder of Gene Bassett, who had vanished soon after arriving in the Pacific Northwest while on a day–trip to sell his car in Seattle. Found in possession of Bassett's vehicle and belongings, DeCasto Mayer and his mother Mary Smith were found guilty only of grand larceny in the case, as the murder of Gene Bassett could not be proven. In part two of Deadly Potentialities, a confession written on the eve of a prison release, a gruesome death by shame via suicide, and a reach into the past, to solve the vanishing of a a man and woman who were never seen again after entering the home of Mayer and Smith. Episode Host: Josh McCulloughFor photos and sources for today's episode, check out the Murder in the Rain Episode Blog. If you'd like more episodes of Murder in the Rain, Patreon members at the $5/mo+ level, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.Join us this year at True Crime Fest Northwest in Portland, Oregon from August 30th through Sept 1st.

Guest Mary Smith is an accomplished attorney and the first Native American woman to become president of the American Bar Association. In addition to a distinguished career in legal leadership for billion-dollar organizations, including CEO of the national organization Indian Health Services, she is also active in many civic organizations, including the Caroline and Ora Smith Foundation, dedicated to helping young Native American women forge careers in STEM fields. Smith's career took a long and winding path, including a stop serving in the White House and the Department of Justice, along with billion-dollar publicly traded companies. Smith said the key has been to remain curious and open to new opportunities throughout her career. Being willing to take risks and face various challenges has driven her career to amazing heights. Smith explains how she never limited herself to any presupposed direction. Sometimes, you think you've selected a singular path, but if you remain open to new opportunities, that path can lead you to places you've never imagined and take you higher than you thought possible.  As Smith says in this inspiring episode: “Be true to yourself. Believe in yourself. And seek help, mentors, and others who can help along the way.” Resources: “Asked & Answered: Mary Smith, '91, President, American Bar Association,” University of Chicago School of Law Caroline and Ora Smith Foundation American Bar Association American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Native Americans: A Crisis in Health Equity ABA President to Students: You Will Change the Practice of Law Working to Ensure an Enduring American Democracy ABA Task Force for American Democracy

It's the last installment of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ podcast, and we're getting physical!!! In 'Part THREE', thanks to Vision Films we have a sports drama, that's all about friendship, relationships, addiction and love. THEN, we conversate with two of the stars, who also were behind directing, writing and producing the feature. Their story goes back over a decade though, as it was sport that brought them together. And since that friendship has helped create an environment which has enabled them to evolve into rising film stars and the support system to create their own vision! We go into this and a LOT more, so chalk up and get ready for another immersive confab!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/g7KcAASclJs 'Final Heat' is the feature directorial debut from Jeremy Gimenez, which he also wrote. The married owners of a struggling functional fitness gym, Cam (Brad Benedict) & Laney (Molly Cerne) have the perfect plan to raise money: they'll bring in the best athletes to compete in "The Games" to win the huge cash prize.

Today we hit a milestone with the 200th episode of the On The Go podcast hosted by President Eden Keefe and her daughter, Alli Bauck. They share a little history about the podcast and a new devotion titled "Change" by Mary Smith.   

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made the following comment on diversity in Japan, “My mission is to create a society where anyone regardless of age, gender and position would be able to play an active role and for people with various experiences and backgrounds to inspire each other”.  Today, most companies in Japan would agree with that statement and are working on improving the degree of diversity in their organisation. We know that to get to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in our organisations, the starting point is to work on improving the Inclusion component.  What happens though when we have disagreements with each other? Arguments tend to create division, bad feelings, distance and even hostility, which are all moving us further and further away from the goal of inclusion which we need to trigger diversity in the workplace. The reality is we will have differences of opinion within any team on how to spend the money, which projects to go forward with, who owns the client, etc.  A good starting point is to understand who we are and this will help us to better respond when arguments break out.  There are basically three reactions to disagreements – passive, assertive and aggressive.  Passive reactions are where we put up no resistance and we go along with whatever the more dominant personality types decide.  We keep our opinion to ourselves and we try to not get involved.  This is a type of denial of service because we don't bring our full array of abilities to the workplace. Assertive reactions, on the other hand,  allow the entertainment of differing opinions. You are confident in yourself and you have no hesitation to register your opinion, knowing it will not be accepted by everyone.  You are willing to take personal responsibility and will hold others to account. Aggressive reactions, however,  tend to be direct, confrontational and even combative.  You are happy to push your opinion and drive through any resistance.  You don't care what others think.  This would be me, by the way, but it is not the best choice! Being assertive is the best mix, I believe, because it has elements of a strong opinion mixed with diplomacy, which makes it easier to keep the people together.  So passive people need to speak up more and aggressive people (like me!) need to listen more. Usually when we hear something we don't like or disagree with, we tend to be consumed by our emotional reaction.  This reaction can be instantaneous, so we may be saying things which we regret later or which we subsequently think could have been expressed more effectively.  Too late.  It would be a lot better if we were to slow down our speed of reaction.  When we first hear the idea instead of reacting to it we can analyse it. Firstly, what do we think about this idea or proposal?  Now here is a very important step – consider why we think what we do?.  What have we seen, read, heard or experienced about this topic has provided us with an opinion?  We are searching our memories for the evidence which was the basis for forming our belief around this subject matter. We don't have our opinions by accident – there is a reason, so we need to dig that basis out.  Having gone through this process and we are talking seconds here not minutes, we are now in position to disagree with the other person's point of view.  Rather than starting with stating our opinion, which is the normal route to begin an argument, we start with the evidence.  A very disarming way to communicate what we think is through storytelling. When a lot of people hear “storytelling” they are thinking of some convoluted long tale, but in fact, it could be completed in under a minute. We relate where we discovered the evidence, which is the basis for forming our opinion.  We should try to frame the story in context – when was it, what season was it, where was it, who was there, what happened.  As an example, say we were facing a differing opinion over the marketing spend.  One side is thinking to reduce the spend while others are thinking to increase the investment.  Say we are in the increase the spend camp, we could make our point like this: “That is a good idea but…”.  That approach is almost guaranteed to get us into an argument.  “But”, “however” are trigger words indicating someone is going to push back on us and so we mentally gird our loins as soon as we hear these indicators. Rather, we can relate our story to provide the background, the context, the rationale, e.g. “In December, I was visiting our colleagues on a snowy day in London and was talking to the Head of Marketing there, Mary Smith.  She told me that they had seen a spike in leads and a substantial reduction in client acquisition costs, when they raised their ad words spend. The found that as clients were emerging from Covid, there were becoming more active in searching online for solutions to their problems.  Japan is a little behind the rest of the world in coming out of Covid, so it is likely that we will also benefit from spending more in search words over the next months here, to tap into that increasing latent demand”.  Rather than just saying “let's spend more money on marketing” we have marshalled our argument based on evidence and after presenting the evidence in a story format, we have made our recommendation.  We have tried to transport the listener to the London office, to have them see Mary Smith in their mind's eye and to imagine a chilly London in winter.  We have provided the context to the point we are making. It is easy to argue with our opinion, but harder to argue with our context.  The other side has to produce superior evidence to get us to change our position.  That is quite possible though and as the famous economist John Maynard Keynes said, “When my information changes, I alter my conclusions” and most of us are the same.  If we have better evidence than the other person we may be able to convince them or they may be able to convince us – either way, we can avoid arguing.  This process moves us closer to having an inclusive culture in the organisation and from that base we can move forward toward improving our diversity.

Hosts Bill Condon and Matt McGregor welcome back ‘SOAR Selling' author and sales coach David “Dave” Hibbard. The three discuss how to produce results, why you can't ignore prospecting, and five techniques you can leverage to reach decision-makers while prospecting over the phone. As Dave Hibbard puts it, results matter…whether you're in sales, brokerage, or leadership. You need to be producing results. It doesn't matter how big your company is or how successful you are, you need to be reaching out to potential customers on a regular basis. Because, as Dave said, ‘all oil wells dry up.' The message is simple, yet powerful: you need to prospect. Dave shares five things you can use to reach a decision-maker using the telephone. Dave and his team have been using these techniques, which are also discussed in his book SOAR Selling, for over 30 years. Bill and Matt agree on their effectiveness. There's a series of questions you may be asked when reaching out by phone, Dave goes over all of them. When hearing ‘Mary Smith is not available' most people hang up the call… Dave discusses what that actually means and how you should respond to that. Taking risks while prospecting often leads to excellent outcomes – Dave shares an example that illustrates his approach to prospecting using the phone.     Mentioned in this episode: Industrial Advisors Dialexis.com Call Dave anytime at 949-689-8872 Email Dave directly at dave@dialexis.com SOAR Selling: How to Get Through to Almost Anyone – The Proven Method for Reaching Decision Makers: Close More Sales and Create New Business By Making Fewer Calls by David & Marhnelle Hibbard Part 1 of the Dave Hibbard conversation - Make Prospecting Work Through the Power of Your Mindset and Beliefs Gary Loveman

Cranford by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell audiobook. Cranford is the best-known novel of the 19th century English writer Elizabeth Gaskell. It was first published in 1851 as a serial in the magazine Household Words, which was edited by Charles Dickens. The fictional town of Cranford is closely modelled on Knutsford in Cheshire, which Mrs Gaskell knew well. The book has little in the way of plot and is more a series of episodes in the lives of Mary Smith and her friends, Miss Matty and Miss Deborah, two spinster sisters. The "major" event in the story is the return to Cranford of their long-lost brother, Peter, which in itself is only a minor portion of the work... 

This week, Danielle covers a famous case that finally produced an update after decades of being steeped in mystery. The identity of the Boy in the Box was revealed this month as Joseph Augustus Zarelli. This is currently an active investigation so stay posted! Then, Sandra talks about the Ashland Stone Public House located in Ashland MA. It was commenced on Stone's Public House in 1832 by John Stone. He built it next to the railroad to attract people, and it started as a hotel. Today it is a restaurant with a very vibrant history. Locals today know the Public House to be haunted by several spirits. The most well known is eleven year old Mary Smith who supposedly died by getting hit by a train.

There's a common phrase that gets thrown around when it comes to teamwork: “There's no ‘I' in ‘Team.'” But every team is made up of individuals—when we lose sight of that, the whole team suffers.Teams need to be able to work together as a whole, but we can't forget to address the individual influences and strengths that each person brings to the team. And each team, or even the entire company, can be viewed as a single “individual.” That's the thesis that Brian and Mary Smith put forth.Brian is the founder and senior managing partner of IA Business Advisors, a management consulting firm that has worked with more than 18 thousand CEOs, entrepreneurs, managers, and employees worldwide.

Today I'm going to tell you the story of one Irish Catholic Industrial School survivor, Mary Smith. As a child growing up in Catholic institutions, she was known simply as Number 1346. She grew up not knowing her age or her true identity. But, later, she would find out that she had been ripped from the arms of a mother she would never know, and – she would discover that she also had a brother who was a victim of the same evil system. Like a lot of Irish people, Mary, as an adult, has used music to tell her story and heal from the pain she endured by the hands of the Catholic Church. In her song, I Am My Mother's Child, Mary tells her story, and you can watch her video here.

Today I'm going to tell you the story of one Irish Catholic Industrial School survivor, Mary Smith. As a child growing up in Catholic institutions, she was known simply as Number 1346. She grew up not knowing her age or her true identity. But, later, she would find out that she had been ripped from the arms of a mother she would never know, and – she would discover that she also had a brother who was a victim of the same evil system. Like a lot of Irish people, Mary, as an adult, has used music to tell her story and heal from the pain she endured by the hands of the Catholic Church. In her song, I Am My Mother's Child, Mary tells her story, and you can watch her video here. I normally edit my episodes, but this one is full of so much information, I just decided to leave it just as it is, for you to listen to, and it going to come to you as a three part episode.

(Originally aired in January 2021)   ******   Kimberly Hobbs    Welcome to empowering lives with purpose. And I'm your host, Kimberly Hobbs. I'm the founder of Women world leaders. And we are so glad you decided to join us today, I would love to welcome our guest speaker today, which is Mary Smith. Mary is from Daphne, Alabama. Hi, Mary. Mary Smit   Hi, ladies. I'm so happy and just blessed to be here with you guys.  Kimberly Hobbs   Yay! And we're blessed to have you. So today, ladies on this podcast interview, it's our desire to share with you encouragement, stories, and empowerment that will help you to walk into your God given purpose, and dream and think about the things that God has planned for you. He says in Ephesians 210, that we are God's masterpiece. We are created in new and Christ Jesus to do the things that he planned for us long ago. And Philippians 213 says God is working in you. And he's giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. We are just so excited about that, because it's something to be excited about that the God of the universe wants to use us to do the work that he has called us to do. And that's a privilege and honor, and it's a privilege and honor to be here with you. Ladies, I also want to share that every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Women world leaders brings podcast interviews, not interviews, but we have walking in the word on Wednesday with Julie Jenkins. And we also have journey into joy every Friday with Carrie Christopher. So please join us on those days as well and be blessed. So today a little bit about Mary. Mary is a professional makeup artist. She's a hair stylist wardrobe and set designer as well. And she has worked in over 30 feature films, including mom's night out the War Room, like arrows, and even over calmer. She has been in faith based industry for 15 years. And she believes in helping raise up the next generation to further the gospel. I think that's awesome. And we get to see the end result of movies. But Mary gets to live through the making of these movies, and being on location and working with actors and actresses and these faith based films. Mary, I know you've seen a lot of things. So you've seen spiritual battles. You've seen miracles take place, and many astounding things that are happening on the set of these movies. So let's start here with possibly maybe sharing a story about some of the astounding things that have taken place, maybe one that sticks out in your mind. And you are sharing with me about beauty and brokenness and how that just draws you to to talk about some of these things. Maybe can you share that mixed in this god story that you're going to share with us today? Mary Smit   Yes, I think it's very appropriate, especially today. I mean, 2020 has just been so hard on so many people. And I think there's a lot of brokenness out in the world. And I was sharing with you earlier that it's something that's kind of been on my mind more than just this year, but this year has been exceptionally hard for me. There's been a lot of brokenness in my life, which I'm sure a lot of ladies can relate to that. There is a beauty and brokenness. I've always kind of been gravitated toward the broken things in this world, whether it's photography and pictures of things that are not perfect, that are broken. Just stories from people that I gravitate toward that are doing, you know great things for God that have these ministries and different things that I you know, I'm interested in, when you get to talk to those people. There is usually some brokenness that has occurred in their life that has brought them to that place of ministry. It's it's all scripture, how God uses broken people. You don't read Scripture and see these perfect lives, you see broken people. And even Jesus was broken on the cross for us, God's most precious, perfect son was broken. And he was broken so that we could have lived. So I think God has a value that he places in brokenness. And just as something that I read recently, and maybe even popped up on some of you guys, Facebook feeds and things, but there's a Japanese art form, and I don't dare try to pronounce it and just blow that. But it takes broken pottery, it's been around for centuries. And the way that they do, they don't throw away this brokenness, God doesn't throw us away in our brokenness. But they take the pieces, and they take gold. And they put these pieces back together. And it forms this beautiful, beautiful piece of art, where it's more beautiful than it was before it was broken. And just like the Scripture, you read, where we are God's masterpiece, that's what he's doing in our lives. He's taking our broken pieces, and he's putting them back together. And he's delicately lovingly doing that, because he's the potter and we're the clay. And we are getting those, those pieces put back together so that we're usable in his kingdom. And we come out on the other side more beautiful than we started. And I think that attracts people to his people are not attracted to somebody who's perfect. People are not attracted to those, hey, I'm great and wonderful and all things is that, you know, what are people attracted to? They're attracted to authenticity, they're attracted to you. They're attracted to transparency. You know, we live in a hurting in a broken world, and they are looking saying, Hey, I'm hurting, I'm broken. How do you do this? Well, we do this through Jesus, Jesus, He is our resource he is our mentor. A repair of the breach is what one scripture says that I read this morning, he is the one that we look to. He is the one that lifts us up. So that is, that's what has been on my mind lately. And I think a lot of people too, but just 2020 and moving forward into 2021. With our brokenness, I think we need to look to Jesus, and we need to move forward. Take that with us and use that for the Kingdom. Kimberly Hobbs   Amen. Amen. Mary, and God says, Behold, I will make all things new. And that when you have a broken life, you know, praise God, that he's there for you. And he will take you from that brokenness and make all things new. Mary Smit   Yes, so never leaves us he never forsake. And you'd ask me for just an example of some cool things I've seen on set there. There are numerous, numerous, but I know we're short on time, I've tried to just like make little blurbs. But I can't really say the country that I was working in, because the gospel is not allowed in that country. Okay. And we were there. And basically teaching believers under the radar how to do film how to do the craft, so that they in turn, could turn around and share the gospel within their own countries, whether it be with their iPhones, they make film or whatever they do, but they could do what we cannot, they can share the gospel there where we cannot go. And so I was in country doing this. And we were threatened with rain on multiple days. We didn't know it when we got there. But it was the rainy season. And every day, you could see walls of rain around us. And we would pray and ask God to hold back the rain. And it was like we had these pockets of sunshine little like, like if you took a circle and just kind of cut it out. And when we film, and literally the moment, we would get all the gear on the buses and we'd load everything in, then the rain would start. And it was like this daily thing. And then we had one day where we were praying to hold the rain. And God didn't hold the rain. And we're like, what is up with this? God, you felt the rain the whole time. And all of a sudden, we cannot film this day. We have to make an entire day of filming up which, you know, we can't stay later in country. There's no way to do these things. It presented a problem because it made the only day we could film on Sunday. So that's an issue because in that country, you know, you can't really explain sometimes with language barriers and things of why the necessity would be there. And this is the day for church. This is the day that you have all of that. So we came up with a plan that we would have church on site. We invited several churches, it was a day that we had to have extras, and we would do church right there. And we would film and they would be our extras but we would hold services right there on set. So that's what we did. And in the process of doing that because we did that we had had some extras that came that weren't parts of those local churches. One of those ladies had we not done what we did have we filmed the original day would not have been there. This lady got saved. Oh, wow, that's it never been in a church. So for her to then it was like this perfect orchestration to get her there to hear the gospel, that and I was like, Lord, now we know now we know why you didn't hold the rain. Because one person is so important. It's just so important to Jesus. You know, we have the stories of, you know, the lost lamb, you know, and like, leaving the nine for the one. And obviously, it just really illustrated to me how God loves each and every one of us, He sees us, we're not forgotten. He, He loves us, and he searches for each person. And he did that for that one beautiful lady. Kimberly Hobbs   That is so precious. And thank you for sharing that story. And that is our God. That is how much he loves. Each of you, ladies, no matter who you are, no matter where you are, no matter what you have done. God loves you, and He will seek you out and find you. And he that same story. I mean, that can happen to any one of us. Yeah, that, that God of our galaxies loves us. Mary Smit   Yeah, so one names is the God who sees that is one of his names he sees you never think you're forgotten. Never think that you're alone. He sees you. He knows right where you are. And he loves you, just as you are. Kimberly Hobbs   Yes, that is so important, too. Amen. Thank you, Mary, for sharing that. And, and as you're sharing this, you know what God saw you right where you were in your life. And he singled you out and chose you to do what you are doing now working in faith based films, working on the sets with all of these amazing people around the world? How did he lead you into this industry? Can you share that with us? Mary Smit   Well, it's kind of an interesting, interesting story there. To start with that preface it with this, I felt a calling in my young married life to be a missionary that my husband did not. So I'm like, Okay, God, how does this work? Because normally you call both. So it was it did not make sense to me. And I really just kind of, you know, had that hovering within me for quite a while I would do short term missions, things like that. But I couldn't quite grasp, you know how how this calling would work itself out? Well, then I was living in Albany, Georgia, a lot of people are familiar with the Kendrick Brothers that Did you know, overcome or war room fireproof courageous Facing the Giants, all of those. Alright, maybe I was going to go into that church when they started. And I didn't even know about the first one. It kind of went under the radar flywheel. Nobody really knew about that one. But once Facing the Giants kind of hit, I volunteered just to help out. So I was helping out in the makeup area, I apprenticed under a professional makeup artist, curry Bushnell, who was there. And by the time fireproof rolled around, he thought I was pretty good and said, Hey, you're gonna be killing this. And I was like, what does that mean? I didn't even know what the term meant, which meant I was him until he could get on set. I was in charge, basically, you know, had no clue even what I was even doing. But God trained me through all of this. And every it just doors kept opening doors kept opening, I kept stepping through doors, and I kind of ended up here. So it's kind of funny in a way, but I was going to a church after we moved to Alabama, and the pastor that was there. I told him, Hey, I'm fixing to be gone for you know, about six weeks didn't want you to think I'd quit the church. But you know, I'm going to a movie set and he goes, Godspeed missionary. And I said, Wait, what? I said, You're a missionary. And I was like, that is very interesting that you tell me why you're saying that. And he said, Well, you're going out and you're telling the gospel through film, aren't you? And I said, Yes, I am. And all of a sudden my brain was click, click, click, you know, because I felt that call to missions, didn't understand how that panned out. And I thought, wow, okay, I am a missionary, you know, and that's what I'm doing. So he literally said this, what you're doing, you're sharing the gospel through what you do. You're a missionary. Kimberly Hobbs   One of the questions I was going to ask you is how did you hear God's voice and kind of you just revealed That is, you know, because ladies, we can go through our life every day wondering, oh, how is going to God gonna use me? And you know, what is it going to say? Is it going to drop something just right on top of my head so I can notice that he's calling me. And so I wanted you to expound on that a little bit about how did you hear God's voice so that you knew he specifically called you to this role? I mean, because it's a calling what you are doing? Mary Smit   Yeah, it is a calling. And I think too, that we make callings out to be something almost elusive at times, like we I just want to know what my calling is. I just want to know, what the will of God is for my life. I think sometimes we overcomplicate it. I think if we simply do the next thing, you know, where's God opening doors? Where is God working? How can we join him in what he is already doing? Or maybe something is in your world that you're seeing God's moving in this? Well? How can you join him in that? How can you you know, assist him in that, you know, just it's the little steps. And I think if you're seeking God, and you're praying, and you're asking, God, Hey, show me, and you're doing those things, doors open, and all of a sudden, you realize, hey, this is this is it? You know, look what God is doing? Look where he is placed me, There's a scripture, everybody wants to ask a lot, because I get asked a lot. You know, what is your life first? What is your life? And I don't really know so much that I have a life verse. But there's one that I've always kind of gone back to when I'm asked that, because it just makes sense for me. And it is Second Samuel 718. It's who who am I, oh, Sovereign Lord. And what is my family that you have brought me this far? And I think that pretty much sums it up. Because if I had to say, How did I get here, I really don't know. Other thing is literally little doors, little doors, little doors, little doors, and I just keep going through the little doors. However that may be, and I ended up here. So I just think we make it harder than what it truly is. And that if we're just obedient in the little things, if we just take those little baby steps, that, you know, God takes you where he wants to take you. And I don't think you have to even get stuck in like, this is my specific itty bitty calling here. Because God can branch that out and move that he controls it. We don't. So don't even get stuck in this little bitty whatever. Because I started out makeup, I got thrown into doing a little hair, I went into wardrobe. It's like this moving of things, you know, and I do some acting too. So it's, it's like this ever evolving thing at every part of it is still furthering the gospel, every part of it even. I recently worked on a set that was not faith based. And I really pray over everything I do. So God told me to do this particular one, and I could not for the life of me understand why I was feeling go do this. Because I'm like, I don't know about this. But then I got on that set. And I ran across other believers and some young ones that just they needed some support. They needed some guidance, they needed some help as to how to even get into doing what we do and faith based world. And I expressed to them I didn't know how I ended up in this thing, you know, and stuff and he and they said, You're here for us. I know why you're here. You're here for us. And God can use you wherever he places you need to pray and you need to be obedient and those other things kind of shake out on their own. Kimberly Hobbs   You said two key words there right there which is praying, ladies pray pray every day you know God, how are you going to use me in whatever situation you are in your life right now ladies you and like Mary just said you're walking in obedience. If you're walking in obedience with a prayerful heart, God is going to lead you right into what he will have you to do in that moment of promise. He will and you will, you will start to see it because you're going to have that prayerful heart and you're going to be focused on it. You're going to be walking in obedience to what His Word says and you're going to know it. It's so amazing. So I want to lead in into a verse that I felt very strongly to share that this world is fading away along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. That's first on to 17 and ladies, we need to dream with God in another verses Ecclesiastes six nine. Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have. Just dreaming about nice things. beans is meaningless, like chasing the wind. That's what the Bible says. So do what you're doing right now, just like Mary said, and dream with God go after the dream that God put in your heart. And if you don't feel like you know what that dream is, ask God about it. And I've asked Mary, if she could just share some words of encouragement, empowerment, about listening to that voice of God to find what your purpose is. And because we know that God has one just for you, so Mary, let's encourage these women that are listening, how they can just right where they are, start doing what God has called them to do. Mary Smit   Well, I just said, it popped into my head while you were talking. And I was thinking, you know, it's the little things we as women, sometimes we try to think, you know, oh, I need to do these big world changer kind of deals. When, you know, sometimes the world changing things are little, they're tiny. Maybe you're a mom right now, and you've got littles? Well, you're not going to go out and do what I do every day, because you've got those littles. But think about it this way. What about Billy Graham's mom? What was she doing? You know? Yeah, she was pouring into him, she was pouring into the other kids never take the little what we consider as women sometimes as being little, never take it that way. Because you don't know the impact for the kingdom that you're having. While you're washing those dishes, while you're assisting your husband, while you're, you know, taking care of those babies and changing those diapers. Whether you're single, and you're serving in a ministry at the church, whether you're in a secular type job and the people around you, you know, that you're interacting with. You don't know what those God moments are in the impact that those little tiny events happen to have those ripple effects. So that is my encouragement to you is to live every moment, seek God's face by praying, ask him to feel you ask him to give you opportunities to share with others every day, he will honor that prayer because that is his will. So ask for those opportunities. And when they come, you know, you don't have to know all the answers just speak from your heart. And sometimes just telling somebody and listening to them. So you know, what, can I pray for you? Or I'm going to pray for it? What if they won't let you pray for them? Then pray for them on your own. Either way, you know, but I'm just saying, it's those little things and you see God and you do and a little and you'd be surprised what those little things turn into. Kimberly Hobbs   Right. Amen. Wow, that is such a great word. Oh my goodness. Ask and you will find and seek and you will find knock and the door will be open to you. It God is there for us ladies, he is all around us. He is He never leaves or forsakes us. So whenever you have that thought, you know just go to him and say Lord, what am I supposed to be doing in this moment? Like Mary said, when you're feeling like you're you're worthless, you know that my life can't be like her life can be God doesn't want want it to be. He has your life planned out for you, precious woman of God, exactly. For you. And so just ask him what is that Lord? And what can you do in that moment, praying with God to find joy in that moment in serving Him, be obedient to what He has called you to do now, and before you know it, if you are obedient, step by step you're gonna walk right into your beautiful purpose. God will lead you right there. Oh, Mary, I am so thrilled just to share this time with you and just develop this new friendship that we have Mary is part of women world leaders, and we are so excited that she is going to be in and out and helping and working in different areas upcoming so Mary Is there any way that women can follow you?
